And now the purple dusk of twilight time Streaks across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky, the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now a stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreamin' of a song? The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you
When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall When stars are bright, you are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
